24 January, 2023

We're looking forward to working with our partners through the new Centre to boost the adoption of advanced technologies and deliver manufacturing solutions that build a better future for both business and local people.”

Gerry Cummins, director at Clark Contracts, added, “Having worked with the University of Strathclyde for over 20 years, it is great to be continuing our relationship to deliver this innovative technology centre. We are also looking forward to working with North Ayrshire Council again to support the manufacturing sector across the country.”

Gillian Docherty, chief commercial officer at the University of Strathclyde, said: “This is an exciting step on the journey towards the creation of a facility that will further bolster Scotland’s manufacturing innovation ecosystem and the development of industry 4.0 – where our internationally leading research and digitisation capabilities will provide a major boost to productivity and competitive advantage.”

Martin Welsh, managing director at Booth Welsh, said: “The DPMC, located at our facility in Ayrshire, aligns with our purpose of 'collaborating to engineer a better future'. Working closely with all partners, we look forward to bringing the vision for this centre to life and allowing businesses from both within Ayrshire and nationally, practical, hands-on access to the latest technology to understand how digitalisation can help accelerate both their business and sustainability goals; an opportunity much needed in today's fast paced and disruptive world."
